Therapists in Frederick, MD

As a Deaf licensed clinical therapist in the District of Columbia and Maryland with more than 35 years of experience, I specialize in counseling diverse Deaf, hard of hearing and hearing children/adults of Deaf parents, individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I am fluent in American Sign Language. I have worked in private practice since 1999. My intention is to work with clients to identify, heal, overcome, and cope with challenges such as trauma, depression, anxiety, communication barriers, self-esteem, identity or other life challenges.

For the past 16 yrs I've worked primarily with children & adolescents* on the autism spectrum. Of course working with children means working with parents; partnering with parents is essential so that the progress we make in sessions carries over to everyday family life. There is nothing better than finding the "secret" to reaching a child and seeing them blossom before your eyes. It might not happen overnight, but believe me, it happens. To make the most progress, children should begin therapy as early as possible. * I can see adult clients and couples, wkdays between 11 am - 2 pm.

I am a bilingual psychotherapist, fluent in English and Spanish, providing mental health services to children, adults, and families through traditional and innovative approaches, navigating life transitions.

I understand how debilitating life can be when you have experienced trauma and/or phobias, and I don't want to see you suffer for any longer than you already have. This is why I often utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy during counseling. ART doesn't require you to share details of your experience, and many concerns can be addressed in 3-5 sessions! Imagine being able to go to the dentist without fear, or perhaps you'd like to just experience life without anxiety constantly getting in the way. If you've been considering counseling and now feel ready to make the leap to improve your life satisfaction, I can help!
